So do I. And no question: the legal industry is going to get slammed, hard, by automation - certainly moreso than other professional services.

Law. At one of the few schools where the cost/outcome calculation actually makes sense.

Not in any meaningful way. The debt starts racking up in a few weeks when I begin professional school.

As a taxpayer, I agree. I’d much rather subsidize the import of a Lada Niva or something interesting. 

Young person here. Already hate the existence of just about everything, and have nothing to look forward to except student debt until the day I die. Could never afford to do this (in terms of both time and money) or have kids (not that I want them).

Nothing, other than the fact that the kids on Twitter don’t know or care about 1099 employees that they don’t see, so they don’t make noise about it.

If you really wanted to play it safe, you could’ve taken the money, invested it in the market, made out like a bandit, and returned the principal...

I’m in the “legitimately receiving PPP” camp.

Agreed. Convertibles are overrated. People from outside this city think about our weather and think they’ll be driving around with the top down 24/7. Gets old fast.

No. I’m going to go with the substantial evidence that points to there being low—not nonexistent—risk of transmission onboard an aircraft.

Yes. I’ve made the gamble more than once recently (incidentally, on 777s). Masked up, empty seats in between pax, filtered air... I felt a hell lot safer there than I did at the grocery store I stopped at on my way home from the airport.

That’s true. I wasn’t clear. It’s about 50/50 outside and recirculated.

I’ve flown transatlantic twice in the past two weeks, and I felt far safer on the plane than I did anywhere else. 

Says he was born in Germany, so presumably he’s a German national.

Several daily flights between the U.S. and the EU at the moment. Borders are closed on both ends for general traffic, but there are plenty of exceptions that permit travel.

The science isn’t with you there. Airplane cabins are probably one of the safest (public) places to be at the moment. Cabin air is entirely replaced every few minutes, and it’s filtered through the heavy-duty stuff.

Leave it to Jalopnik to somehow contrive a headline that makes GM look like the bad guy in this story. 

I’ve been told that flying in Alaska is a bit of a wild west experience (there are stories about unlicensed pilots, etc). I’d be interested to hear from someone who operates in that area.

And not at all surprising.

You seem like you know what you’re talking about. How dare you - get out of here!
